Speech

We had a meeting with Charlie's speech teacher today. It is his annual IEP review. It is amazing what a year can do and how far he has come. He started at 64% understandable to 85%. He still has some language sounds that he needs help on and they will continue to work with him 2x/week. The best news is that he will continue to get help through 1st grade as long as he needs it. That makes us so happy! The process last fall/winter to get him activated again was a pain in the butt. The transition this year was so easy and they told me it will be just as easy when he starts at Franklin. The speech clinician will read his file in the fall and start helping him right away. We are thrilled. The other great news is that they think he is more than ready for Kindergarten. His speech makes you sometimes think that he isn't. His motor skills and what he knows makes him ready! We all agree that getting him into school full-time will only help him with his speech! WAHOO!! It is such a blessing to have all these amazing people working with Charlie. I can't believe he will be going to Kindergarten next year.
